Assembly/packaging
This probably took about 15 minutes to assemble, at most. The only part I had to pause on was which direction the first step goes, and it's pretty clear which way in the photos. Packaging was good, and it arrived looking in tact. There was, however, a slight dent/some damage to one of the top platforms, but not enough to be a major problem or noticeable when assembled.
Use
Using the catnip provided, my cat was intrigued by the piece enough to use almost immediately after I finished assembly. It's hit or miss for me with new toys/furniture for my cat, so good design in that respect.
My cat is pushing 15 pounds and isn't necessarily "chonky" but has a big frame and wingspan for a tabby. He can fit and comfortably maneuver most aspects of this tree, however, it's unlikely he'll be hanging out inside of the box/cubby portion of this (which is fine with me). He fits comfortably on both top platforms and enjoys loafing on them, especially when I'm not home. He loves playing with the rope whenever he has the zoomies. I haven't seen him solely use the scratchers but fingers crossed that he starts in time.
Quality
Even with his size, it doesn't move or seem unstable when he is playing on it. I was pleased to see the rope is also screwed in. I've seen cat towers that expect you to tape the toys provided, and it makes me wonder if they've ever had cats at all. The materials are on the cheaper side, but my cat loves this fake fabric/faux polyester type material.
Overall, the ease of assembly, stability/sturdiness of this for something not mounted to the wall, and the price? It's tough to beat this.

great cat trees
My 2nd AmazonBasics cat tree is as good as the first -- straightforward assembly, scratch posts one cat loves, platforms the other cat enjoys. Great for my older cats, but young cats would enjoy it even more.You can leave off parts you don't intend to use from all of these trees, for a cleaner look. Kitties like to transition from surface to surface, so putting this next to a desk or another cat tree encourages playfulness (you can see I have another platform next to this one in my photo). The dangling toys are also toss-able if you don't want them on the tree. The cat in the picture loves to chase them.Like with all cat trees, how each kitty uses it will vary. For average sized cats, I think this style (with posts about 18" tall) is preferable, the posts on smaller versions are too short. See the product photos that diagram the size.The only drawback? There's a LOT of versions of these in different sizes, and prices and availability seem to vary a lot. Fewer models in stock consistently would be preferable... But for the product itself, Highly Recommended.

The best cat condo trees have sisal on the posts. Semi modern design, neutral grey, cats are happy.

I picked up this cat condo/tree for my new outside catio. I like that it came in neutral grey carpet versus the standard boring white or ugly brown that so many cat trees are made of (it's actually grey in color, my poor quality phone camera made some of the pictures look purple). Since my catio uses the window to get in and out I wanted something that would also act as an easy addition for climbing up and down, this one has nice big platform levels, isn't too tall and isn't too short. I also like that one of the posts in the back is taller and wrapped with sisal rope for scratching, many cat trees only have short stubby posts are are wrapped in cheap cloth or carpet which ends up getting destroyed much quicker. My cats love sitting in the top perches and on the platforms, and they actually fit. I also got this one because the enclosed cubby box has two openings which allows for my cats room to lay in sticking out since it's actually too small (kitten sized) for complete enclosure of an adult cat. I ended up having to assemble the top half of this condo in the catio as it wouldn't fit through the door assembled (the angled platform extends just beyond the base dimensions). Sturdy, easy assembly (took me about 25 minutes) and quick shipping. Excellent buy.
